Robert Vamosi from CNET, posted an article claiming that San Francisco-based Coverity, working in collaboration with Stanford University (and under a contract from the Department of Homeland Security), certified eleven open source projects as secure on the source-code level.

The projects include: Amanda, NTP, OpenPAM, OpenVPN, Overdose, Perl, PHP, Postfix, Python, Samba, and TCL.

This is great news as this certification provides enterprises and governments with an extra level of confidence in open source solutions!
